I love the idea of it, and I love how tiny it is. Will probably get one when money isn’t so tight.

But I was curious if the power button was accessible without lifting it. And it genuinely isn’t. Why does Apple like shoving important IO and buttons underneath the device. Good thing it’s light?

Oh and a funny thing was the staff had to loosen its mount on the table so you could turn it on.

The power button thing doesn’t matter. It’s not a PC, you never turn it off

Maybe not but it's just crazy that a company can be so ignorant.

Why do they intentionally place the power button in the absolute worst place imaginable?

The best explanation I’ve heard is they have someone who intentionally makes a subtle yet inconsequential change for internet people to whine about.

So you don't touch it.
